It's one of those things... if you follow Aston Martin at all (as a company) - they'd have died a long time ago if it weren't for James Bond propping them up.

I thought it was hilarious on Mad Men when a character tried to asphyxiate himself in a Jaguar and it wouldn’t start.
I never saw James Bond as the bad guy, but to each their own.
Well when you watch the movies through a modern lens, even the Brosnan era ones, he is "a bit rapey".
Goldfinger. Connery.

Bond rapes Pussy Galore and he's such a man that she falls for him and joins his side.

Actual rape.

He's probably licensed for that, too.
Oh I meant my comment more in the 'power of marketing' sense, rather than saying he's a bad guy
More exactly, I never saw Bond presented as the bad guy.
